I have been to Taiwan its the only place outside south east asia .i visited ...I would say j enjoy the night market, Hualien Gorge, conversation with locals.
But if you ask me if worth risking life to take a flight there just for food and scenery I tell you it is not.

I think the road in Singapore is more scary nowadays with you dunno what nationalities are driving and how they get their driving licences in their countries. Even walking on pavement can be killed by a PMA or speeding bicycle.

I won't be going to US.
I was given the question US or China...which I would pick if only one choice.
You won't go to us because of the crimes. But why not china? I felt so safe when walking around at many places even at 1, 2am

To be fair when sinkie go US to tour, they don't purposely visit or even stay around area flooded with homeless, drug addicts and gang members one.
Like moi middle-class and lich\elite friends\relatives if they do plan their holiday in US they typically only go tourist area nia like the various theme parks and popular landmarks.
If they do end up in those places, ish normally by chance or by pure ignorance. Like last time a friend go Australia on business trip, normally he ish brought around by his agent so will not venture into any problem. But one night he felt bored and go visit this local pub alone to have a drink, and he was ignorant enough to wear his Heart Sinkapore T-shirt and this was during the time that red dot just hanged an Australian. End up tio whack by a drunken AMDK until black eye. Might even got whack more jiak lark if the pub owner didn't intervened and chase the drunken out. Even offered moi friend a t-shirt for him to change.
There was a time when the country asked ordinary men to do extraordinary things.
But now, they'll only do it for money.
